Summary of article contents:
The embryo and the fetus are surrounded by amniotic fluid during development in utero, and it has various functions. The normal range for Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) is 8 to 24 cm, with values above and below this indicating polyhydramnios/hydramnios and oligohydramnios, respectively. Borderline oligohydramnios usually refers to AFIs between 5 to 8 cm. The primary function of amniotic fluid is to protect the fetus. The extremes of volume may be associated with increased risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Here, a primi gravida patient, with a Period of Gestation 37+5 weeks by LMP, came to the outpatient department (OPD) of Prasuti tantra OPD of All India Institute of Ayurveda, Delhi, on January 25 th, 2023, for a routine antenatal checkup with ultrasonography report showing AFI= 7.1 cm. So, an effort was made to maintain the amniotic fluid volume using Ayurveda medicines ( Bala, Shatavari and Yashtimadhu ) orally in the form of ksheerapana that resulted in significant improvement in the amniotic fluid volume within a week, and the patient delivered a healthy baby vaginally with spontaneous labour pains at POG 40+2 weeks (by LMP). No sign of fetal distress was seen during labour. APGAR score was found normal. Keywords: Bala
